| Omschrijving | The course provides an introduction to internationalization and globalization. It gives an analysis of differences in cultural, economic, financial and political environments. Based on the resource-based view of the firm, we develop an international business theory in which firm specific advantages play a key role. The theoretical framework is subsequently used to discuss market opportunity assessment, the development of internationalization strategies and entry modes. The final part is an introduction into international production, marketing, HRM and finance. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
